Stops counterfeiters producing geniune serial numbered slabs, with fake coins. And it's actually a thing,because I had one a few years ago. Checked out on website, but coin was blatantly fake.

Crazy stuff! Although they could probably still copy it from the barcode number which I think also contains the same number?

Shouldn't you hide the Barcode too in that case? 🤔 if someone has a barcode reader, I'm guessing they could read the number...?

You cant be too careful i suppose

Have you video evidence to support such sorcery?

Revisiting the rotation topic, I have discovered a surefire way to prevent it happening in NGC capsules

With Paulmerton giving some (much needed) love to the Euro coins a bit earlier I felt I couldn't stay behind. P.S. A proof 2,5 en 10 Portuguese Euro coin.....without paperwork unfortunately. Sometimes the difference on Portuguese coins is (like the Isle of Man's coins from the late 70's and 80's) hard to tell but I am pretty sure these 2 are. What does everyone here think?

Nicer than expected. A little glossy but that should fade in 20 years 😆

We just need an oxidisation bath which tones the copper faster whilst removing the gloss 😎

I had to buy something today from Chards,  some 2022 KCIII 1/2 sovereigns, did not expect them in the sheets like the good  old days.  The design looks okay even with bullion.

@Paul Using NGC's own phone app, I scanned your photo and read the barcode trivially.  Gave me a nice image of the coin, serial number, the works.

If you care, you have to obscure the barcode as well.

Nice coin!

Thanks Matthew Ive never used the app - I didn't realised that's why the bar code was there
